摘要

flavor of zero is all the more noteworthy in that SIA management didn't change the goalposts to meet the goal. "We didn't redefine 'zero'," she says. "Zero means zero. Nothing from our manufacturing process goes to the landfill." With great claims come great responsibility, and precisely because these aggressive zero-waste claims leave SIA open to criticism, Coogan says the company is adamant in taking pains to ensure that all is as it should be in its waste stream. "We audit our partners ourselves personally, to make sure they are doing what they say they're doing with our product," she says. "We wouldn't want to find this stuff out in a field somewhere." And what is "this stuff" of which she speaks? The term "recyclable material" at SIA is a long list (see sidebar, "Sub-aru's Reverse Supply Chain"). According to Coogan, the company couldn't have achieved such large numbers from such a multifaceted recycling program without a lot of helping hands-from both its employee and supplier base. For instance, setting stretch goals has spurred innovative responses from the shop floor on up in initiatives devised by sharp-thinking employees. "Our stamping associates were looking to meet their targets, and discovered that every roll of steel that we blanked out had 3' 9" left, when we needed 4 feet to stamp out a hood," Coogan notes. "So our associates worked with our supplier and specified a more exact amount, and we found that by changing this little thing, we saved 102 pounds of steel for every car that we build."

SIA中的“可回收材料”一词很长(请参见侧栏,“亚鲁的反向供应链”)。根据Coogan的说法,如果没有很多员工和供应商的帮助,该公司就不可能从如此多方面的回收计划中取得如此巨大的成就。例如,制定有力的目标已经激发了车间的创新反应,这些想法是由思维敏锐的员工制定的计划提出的。 Coogan指出:“当我们冲压的同事正在努力实现他们的目标时,发现当我们需要4英尺来冲压出引擎盖时,我们每砍掉一卷钢就剩下3'9“。”我们的供应商并指定了更准确的数量,我们发现通过改变这一小东西,我们制造的每辆汽车都节省了102磅的钢材。”
